The Australian Child Maltreatment Study (ACMS) – a call for nationally coordinated public health initiatives to prevent the maltreatment of children in Australia.
Description
The Australian Child Maltreatment Study (ACMS) is the first national study of the experiences and associated health and social outcomes of child maltreatment in Australia. A key take away of the study is that most Australians - have experienced child maltreatment. One would therefore expect the prevalence of child maltreatment to inform our public health policies. But that is not so. Despite criticisms from international rights organisations over many years, Australia has still not met its commitment to provide primary prevention strategies to combat the incidence of child maltreatment. The ACMS seeks to change that.
